Transparent milk tube

Phthalates are organic chemicals substances derived from petroleum and are the most common plasticizers in the world.

They are used especially to make polyvinyl chloride (PVC) soft and flexible.

In the industry division, they are used because they provide flexibility to the final product, durability, longevity and cost.

In the specific case of the milk tube, phthalates do not form stable and irreversible bonds with the PVC that contains them. In case of contact with oily foods or containing fats they tend to leak out from the matrix of PVC and migrate into the food.

What are the risks?

On the wave of the news of the year 2011 here come the new rubber and silicone adaptable DeLaval and Lely hoses for milking robots.

Both typologies of hoses were replicated with full respect of the strict features, which are the original spare parts trademark, adding our over-60-years experience of rubber and silicone manufacturers.

By designing these new products, Spaggiari Industria Gomma Srl meant to focus on the hose peculiarity to refresh its original shape after deformation. These compounds make the hose suitable to absorb vibrations, shocks and stress due to robot movements and therefore appropriate to be installed in areas of mechanical movement.

In addition to this feature also the respect of other key elements, such as: food homologation, long-life durability and reliability are postulates needed to develop this project.
